Goals, Values, Vision

My name is Ayat and I am a 27 year old aspiring farmer. I believe in land-centered community building. I believe that the land is a resource for an entire community. I want to learn about land stewardship, growing enough food to feed myself, my family, and the animals who rely on us for food. I want to learn love of land so I can pass it on to my immediate community and future generations.
